I have worked out to click on a photo, press Export under File tab, then Export again.

I then have to select the following but I am not clear what to select.

I want photos reduced to place on my website.

JPEG Quality - can I have this set at smallest and SIZE set at 'Full size'?

For FILENAME, how do I rename file?

For SUBFOLDER format, what is this?

Thank you for any help you can provide. M:)

iMac (21.5-inch, Late 2013), OS X Yosemite (10.10.4)

Instead of using the Photos app you can use the Preview app. You can reduce the photo file size without compression software.

Launch the Preview app. It's in HD > Applications

From the Preview menu bar click File > Open

Navigate to a photo then click Open.

Back to the Preview menu bar click Tools > Adjust Size

You may have to try different sizes until you find what works best.

You can rename the photo from the Preivew menu bar. Click File > Rename
